Mystic Lass gets the mares' allowance and showed a bit more dash on fast going at Gowran while winning point-to-pointer Bashful Beauty did very well to run Brian's Express close at Kilbeggan though would probably prefer further. GRAND PARTNER produced a fine run when a close second to Cape Glory at Punchestown and started favourite when dropped back to this trip at Kilbeggan but couldn't find the necessary pace. He looks capable of better and gets the nod to gain compensation. Knockraha Prince has scored twice between the flags recently and is worth a market check on his debut under Rules.
